1.2 Why NIT Meghalaya:
National Institute of Technology (NIT) Meghalaya is a new Institute established in the year
2010. It completes six years of its existence this year. It has so far produced two batches of B.
Tech graduates and the third batch is about to graduate. The first batch of M. Tech is
graduating this year. A couple of Ph D scholars are also about to submit their thesis.
From the outset the endeavor of the Institute has been to provide the students with an
environment and opportunities to train and equip themselves with knowledge and expertise in
their chosen fields and bring to the fore their inherent talents. The focus of the Institute has been
to enable the process of learning. Efforts have been made to keep the curricula open enough not
to bind the students to narrow boundaries. The role of the faculty in the institute has been
envisaged as friend- philosopher-guide and not just tutors.
It is still a very young Institute. But it has been able to prove its potential. This year, in the
national ranking done by National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF), MHRD, NIT
Meghalaya has secured the 15th
position among the 31 NITs and the top position among the 11
new NITs.
The placement record of the Institute has been pretty good. For the three batches of B Tech
graduates the Institute has been able to achieve a placement record of 96% for those qualifying
as per the recruiters’ norms. There have been a good number of our students qualifying in
competitive examinations such as GATE.
The M. Tech students have been performing very well. The research oriented curricula and the
provision of extensive project works have resulted in the M. Tech students publishing papers in
reputed international journals and presenting their works in international conferences.
The Institute faculty members are young, but very well qualified having received their training
from premier institutions within the country and abroad. We have been able to maintain close to
10:1 Student : Faculty ratio so that every student gets good attention and necessary care.
The development work of the Permanent Campus of the Institute is making rapid progress and
the Institute hopes to occupy it in 2017. With that the Institute will overcome the constraints of a
temporary campus.
NIT Meghalaya is committed to continue taking good care of its students. The Institute is now
ready to welcome a new batch of talents to its fold.
